DEVICE TO EXPLOIT SEA WAVE POWER Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B63H19/02 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ship building. Proposed device comprises pontoon 12, propulsion motor 3, propeller screw 4, and towing device 5. Pontoon features flat shape in the form of polygon in plan. Pontoon inner chamber in horizontal plane is divided into bottom chamber 55 and top chamber. Bottom chamber is filled with air 24 and has bottom 54 made from elastic material. Top chamber 61 is tightly divided into subsections 14-21, their quantity making paired number equal to that of faces 56 in pontoon. Subsections are filled with fluid 23 (50% of their volume) and air (50%). Top chamber diametrically opposite subsections are connected by couplings-pipelines 25 and air lines 38, 44. Said couplings-pipelines incorporates low-pressure hydraulic turbine 28, hydraulic valves 29-32, electric generator 29 and coupling. Air lines are provided with unit 45 designed to vary airflow direction, air turbine 37, air valves 46-49, safety valves 58, electric generator and coupling. Power from electric generators 27, 36 is fed to motor to drive propeller screw.

EFFECT: driving ship of power of sea waves.
